Was probably a hot day, couldn't tell. Was engaged in some discussions about work and some freelance projects that had kickstarted a fast approaching headache. Nonetheless, had this lingering creative nostalgia, and with the onset of the last couple of intensively energetic days: found myself in a strange mental space of wanting to do everything and nothing. Mustered the energy with a colleague to visit this one gallery downtown: The Bengal Art Lounge. After much deliberation and lunch, went on the spur of the moment: was worth it.
On the way found a really interesting subject to photograph, calling the camera into action early. The street girl had a very stunning face and eyes, which told of many deep pains and joys and the hardened conditionings of the Dhaka Streets. She seemed to be hiding behind a wall playing a game of shadows with the sun, a skinned knee and a sack which contained her few findings during her day scourings of the streets.
Arrived at the scene of the Bengal Art Lounge, the exhibition was called: Freefall, curated by: Giorgio Guglielmino, exhibiting the works of five different Bengali artists. Today was the last day, and really I was glad I came, because the space was awesome. The works were modern and contemporary and entire composition had nice and bubbling effect on the persistent headache. Left with an inspired taste and the feeling that theres no excuse not to keep creating works and presenting materials to the world at large.
Through many of our troubles we are stopped short, or through lack of organisation and mental preparation we get stuck in our minds and many excuses. No more. Head Ache go away... I shall create and fall, then rise again to un-blur the layers of yesterdays sorrows.
